(Spotted on Dan Roam's Back of the Napkin blog)
Many years ago, then unemployed art director Marty Coleman started to draw simple pictures on the napkins that he included in his daughters' school lunch bags.
Marty put these visual haiku-like sketches everyday throughout jr. high and high school a 5 year period. He found that these disposable miniature artworks not only made his daughters happy with a daily surprise, creating them also helped him get through the hard times.
In December of 2008 Time Magazine published a napkin he drew commemorating the election of Barack Obama!
Read about how this daily gift built a wonderful relationship with his girls that survived a painful divorce and physical separation.
Now you can now get a daily napkin by going to The Napkin Dad Daily blog. Look for the 'subscribe' link on the left. Check out the growing collection of Marty's drawings on his Flickr set.
